Capitole du Libre 2025

Cloud Du Cœur

• Conference: Comment nous avons transformé les Restos du Cœur en Cloud Provider
  
• Speaker : Julien Briault
  

  This is the story of Julien Briault, a network engineer at Deezer, also a volunteer at Restaurants du Cœur, who had a "litte idea" just like Coluche did when he launched the idea of the Restos du Cœur; His idea was to transform the IT departement of the association into a a solid cloud provider able to enable an autonomus, low-cost cloud while meeting the IT needs of the different +114 departmental organisations.

  From the computer that hangs in the corner to a fully robust scalable infrastructure, the conference was rich in content and memes, and the speaker was very entertaining with a great storytelling following the different milestones of this ambitious project.

  The Cloud Du Cœur, by relying only on Free software, was able to reduce the costs of the different licenses that the association has avoided to pay when using proprietary software, because every 1 euro spent matters because 1 euro = 1 meal.

Ville d'Echirolles

• Conference: Passer au libre, c'est changer de monde !
  
• Speaker : Nicolas Vivant
  

  In this inspiring conference, Nicolas Vivant presents his success story into migrating the city of Echirolles from an organisation using mainly Windows and Big Tech software to a Linux based computers with mostly Free Software.

  The idea is simple, don't rush and be patient, it's a huge mistake to flip the switch on one run, the transition needs to be graduale but most importantly it requires a fourbe approach.

  What I learned from this conference is that resistance to change is normal. The best way to minimize this resistance is to make the transition as seamless as possible, so seamless that, as in the story shared by Nicolas Vivant, someone once emailed him asking when they could migrate to Linux, even though they had already been using it for months without realizing it.
